Back on January 20th I ordered a Doubleclip IWB holster from Sideguard Holsters and it came Friday (March 13) The order was actually for two holsters (a co-worker of mine ordered the same holster for his CZ-75 .40 Compact. I'll get his comments on Monday and add them then).
Quality/Design.
Overall, the quality of the leather and the workmanship is very good and when you consider the price (currently $60) its definitely good value for the money (and the lead time is reasonable at 5-7 weeks).
With the mouth of the holster flared and the relatively heavy leather used (looks to be about 1/8th inch) one handed re-holstering is easy. Since the flare is above the belt line, I imagine it will stay pretty rigid for years. Honestly you don't need to go for the extra reinforcement.
Retention.
Retention is good, its not a retention holster so its not like you could be lifted up by pulling on the gun, but the gun fits securely in the holster. I got on a chin-up bar and hung upside down and felt completely secure doing so (well secure, but rather ridiculous looking ... middle aged men shouldn't hang from chin-up bars in public parks). But its not so tight that you have to worry about slowing down your draw (or bringing the holster out with it).
Comfort.
We went for an hour and a half hike this morning in Garden of the Gods. Not once in the entire time was I jabbed, poked or rubbed. The gun rode quite comfortably. While seated its just a comfortable.
Concealment.
The double clip IWB style holster is my favorite for concealing a medium to large sized gun with, and the Sideguard conceals every bit as well as an HBE DC Special or MiltSparks VMII.
Negatives.
Really not any negatives, if I had to pick one thing that I might change about the holster, I might bring the cant back to 15deg (but hey, I specifically ordered 20deg ... and I suspect that will be perfect for my buddies CZ). But this really isn't a negative since a lot of holster makers don't let you specify the cant. Also, if the gun sat about 1/4" or so deeper I wouldn't mind.
Overall, the Sideguard Doubleclip is easily on par with any of the other dual clip style holsters I've seen on the market, and when you consider the price it definitely makes it worth looking at.
I give it two thumbs up
We truly live in a golden age of gun leather.
